We just completed a three-week session in the life room. Again, I felt I didn’t have nearly enough time because of my part-time status. Still, I was happy with the drawing and feel I am getting better at creating a likeness in the face. One area where I struggled was in deciding which parts of the back were in shadow and which were in light.

The initial block in. Note the list of work items on the right side.

I reduced the block in and transferred it to a fresh sheet of paper.

By the end of the three week pose I had the figure mostly rendered.
